751 Divine Artifact
Ni Ya looked nervous. His palms were sweaty, and his voice was trembling, but he looked serious.
It was obvious that he really wanted to be Shuang Yinâs mate.
Huanhuanâs attitude was gentle. âBig Goody has grown up. Her marriage is up to her. I wonât interfere.â
Ni Ya quickly asked, âThen can I go back to Rock City with you? I want to pursue Big Goody!â
!!
Huanhuan smiled. âOf course. Youâre welcome to Rock City as a guest.â
âThank you!â Ni Yaâs request was granted, and he was in high spirits.
Bai Di interrupted. âWeâll leave Sun City tomorrow morning. If you want to come with us, itâs best if you go back now and tell your parents and elders about it. You need to pack up your bags too. Wait for us at the city gate tomorrow morning when the sun comes out.â
Ni Ya agreed. âYes, Iâll go back and tell Father and Mother.â
With that, he hurried out.
âDonât be so fast. Wait for me!â Ni Mei shouted as she chased after her.
Before long, the siblings disappeared.
Huanhuan turned to look at Bai Di. âWeâre leaving tomorrow morning? Isnât it too rushed?â
âIâve been delayed here for a long time. If we donât go back now, Shuang Yun will probably be anxious.â
âButâ¦â Huanhuan hesitated.
âBut what?â Bai Di looked down at her. âYou can tell me anything. Donât hide it from me.â
Huanhuan hesitated for a moment before saying, âIf we go home, what about the prophet? Should we bring him back to Rock City?â
âHeâs the prophet. Of course, he has to return to the 10,000 Beast Temple. Didnât you already hand him over to Shuang Jing? With Shuang Jingâs strength, he can definitely safely send the prophet back to the 10,000 Beast Temple.â
âThe prophet is unconscious now. The elders might do something to him. Should we help him?â
Bai Di stroked her head and smiled. âThe prophet can predict the future. He must know that the eldersâ association has ill intentions. He should be prepared to deal with them. We donât have to worry about him.â
âWhat ifââ
âThereâs no âwhat ifâ.â Bai Di lowered his head and kissed her forehead. His tone was gentle but irrefutable. âThe matter of the 10,000 Beast Temple has nothing to do with you. Instead of worrying about those trivial matters, why donât you think about how to solve the problem of Sang Ye and Clement getting along?â
Clement, who was rolling on the bed, looked up at Bai Di when he heard his name.
To prevent Huanhuanâs imagination from running wild, Bai Di stayed with her all afternoon.
It wasnât until late afternoon when Bai Di had to go to the kitchen to make dinner that he separated from Huanhuan.
Huanhuan stayed in the house to take care of Clement.
Shuang Jing, who had been missing for the past two days, suddenly appeared.
When Clement saw him, he immediately got up and bared his teeth at him.
Shuang Jing smiled. âThis little fatty of yours is still as energetic as ever. Donât tell me he wants me to hug him?â
Clement flashed his white teeth. âCome on! Touch me and Iâll eat you!â
Afraid that Clement would pounce on Shuang Jing and bite him, Huanhuan quickly hugged her son tightly and looked at Shuang Jing. âWhy are you here?â
âI heard that youâre leaving Sun City tomorrow morning, so I came to ask you what to do with the prophet.â
Huanhuan asked, âIs he still unconscious?â
âYeah.â
This answer was expected, but Huanhuan was still disappointed. âIt seems I have to go to the home of the unicorns.â
âHome of the unicorns? Why are you going there?â
âItâs said that you can find a way to awaken the prophet there.â
Shuang Jing frowned. âUnicorns are divine beasts. No one knows where their home is. Do you know?â
Huanhuan didnât know either, but Little Brat did.
She nodded. âYes.â
âYou can take us there?â
âSure.â
Seeing how readily she agreed, Shuang Jing became suspicious. âWhy should I believe you?â
Although she seemed harmless at the moment, he had to be wary of her, especially since this matter concerned the safety of the prophet. He had to be careful.
Huanhuan didnât know what to do to make Shuang Jing believe her.
While hesitating, she heard Little Brat say the word âdaggerâ.
Huanhuan immediately took out the bone dagger. âThis is a token from the prophet. It should prove the prophetâs trust in me, right?â
Unexpectedly, when Shuang Jing saw the dagger, his expression became extremely shocked as if he had seen a ghost.
âW-Why do you have this divine artifact?!â
Huanhuan was stunned. âDivine artifact?â
âItâs polished from the horns on the heads of adult unicorns. A unicorn can only have one horn in its life. After it dies, it leaves its horns to its children. Itâs known as a divine artifact. The prophet once said that whoever he gives this divine artifact to in the future will be his successor.â
Shuang Jingâs face was filled with disbelief. âThe prophet gave you the artifact, which means he chose you as his successor.â
Huanhuan scratched her cheek. âThe prophet did say that he wanted me to inherit the position of prophet.â
The way Shuang Jing looked at her was extremely complicated. There was envy, inquiry, and a lot of confusion.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He didnât understand why the prophet would pass the position to a female.
...
âIn all these years on the beast continent, no female has ever held the position of prophet.â
Huanhuan squared her shoulders. âNo female has ever held the position of witch doctor or high priest before. Iâm the first female witch doctor and the first female high priest, so donât underestimate females.â
âYouâre indeed a very impressive female, but the position of prophet isnât as simple as you think. With your current strength, you might not be able to sit firmly in the position of prophet.â
âThatâs why I had no intention of becoming a prophet.â
Shuang Jing was stunned again. âWhat did you say?â
âIâm not that ambitious. I donât want to climb that high. Besides, the prophet is still alive. Although heâs been unconscious, as long as we find the home of the unicorns, he still has hope of waking up. At that time, heâll still be the prophet and Iâll still be the high priest of Rock City.â
Shuang Jing was surprised. âAre you really not interested in the position of prophet at all?â
Huanhuan shook her head. âAs you just said, I canât sit firmly in that position. In that case, why should I look for trouble?â
Shuang Jing didnât know whether to call her stupid or self-aware.
âAlthough you donât want to be the successor of the prophet, since this dagger has been given to you, youâre the next candidate for the position of prophet.â Shuang Jing knelt on one knee and said word by word, âBefore the prophet wakes up, youâll be the acting head of the 10,000 Beast Temple. We 12 divine guards and all the divine servants in the temple will listen to your commands.â
